Comparison of an Exoskeleten With an End-effector for Assisted Gait Training in Spinal Cord Injury

Erenköy Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital20 enrolled

Overview

Aim is to compare exoskeleton assisted gait training with end-effector assisted gait training in Spinal Cord Rehabilitation

It was planned to evaluate patients aged between 18 and 80 years who will admit to the robotic rehabilitation program due to spinal cord injury. Patients will divide into three groups as Exoskeleton, End-effector and conventional therapy. Exoskeleton and End-effector group will receive robotic therapy 4 days a week besides conventional treatment for 6 weeks. All groups will be evaluated at the start and end of the treatment.
